Brand Story

Heritage

Minotti was established in 1948 in Meda, near Milan, out of the intuition of Alberto Minotti. The small artisan workshop grew quickly and from the 1960s became more industrial in character and size. In 1991, after their father's premature death, Renato and Roberto Minotti took the helm and led the company's growth into international markets. The third generation followed: Alessio (1998), Alessandro (2003), Susanna (2013) and Leonardo (2020).

Philosophy

Minotti presents itself as an expression of "Made in Italy" in contemporary furniture and an ambassador of a classic-modern lifestyle for residential and Hospitality projects. Its "Minotti code" follows the principle of "innovation in the spirit of continuity": aesthetic understatement, timeless elegance, artisan savoir-faire and great attention to sartorial details. Artisans finish products made with modern technologies, balancing industrial precision with sensitivity.

Iconic Works

Since 1998 the architect Rodolfo Dordoni has been Art Director and coordinator of all collections, designing seating systems such as Freeman, Connery and Aston. From 2018 the brand opened to Christophe Delcourt, Nendo (Torii) and Marcio Kogan / Studio MK27, then GamFratesi (2019) and Inoda+Sveje (2022). Minotti Studio — architecture, interiors, prototyping, engineering and communication — develops every collection.
